Light & Truth Radio respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how Light & Truth Radio collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you use our websites, mobile applications, streaming services, Light & Truth Radio Auto, Android Auto and Android Automotive OS services, contact forms, donation services, Public Service Announcement forms, and other related services.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Light & Truth Radio,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Light & Truth Radio and the services we operate.

Our primary operations are located in Madisonville, Kentucky, United States.

1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information handled through Light & Truth Radio services, including:

Our websites and mobile website
The Light & Truth Radio mobile application
Light & Truth Radio Auto for Android Auto
Light & Truth Radio for Android Automotive OS
Online contact and communication features
Public Service Announcement submission forms
Donation and payment-related services
Push notifications and other communications, where offered
Radio streaming and program-metadata services

Third-party websites, applications, payment processors, mapping services, app stores, or other external services may have their own privacy policies. Their independent practices are governed by those policies.

2. Information You Choose to Provide

You may use many Light & Truth Radio services, including listening to our radio programming, without creating an account or directly providing us with personal information.

We may receive personal information when you voluntarily contact us or use certain services.

Depending on how you interact with us, this may include your:

Name
Email address
Telephone number
Mailing address
Organization or church name
Message or correspondence
Donation amount and designation
Public Service Announcement information
Event name, date, location, description, and contact information
Other information you voluntarily submit

Please do not submit sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for the service you are requesting.

3. Contacting Light & Truth Radio

Our website and applications may provide options allowing you to call, email, or text Light & Truth Radio.

When you choose to contact us, we may receive information necessary to communicate with you, such as your telephone number, email address, name, and the contents of your communication.

We use this information primarily to respond to your inquiry, provide requested information, maintain appropriate records, or otherwise communicate with you about the reason you contacted us.

Simply viewing a telephone number, email address, or contact link does not itself require you to provide personal information to Light & Truth Radio.

4. Public Service Announcement Submissions

Light & Truth Radio may provide an online form allowing individuals, churches, nonprofit organizations, community groups, or others to submit information for possible Public Service Announcements.

Information submitted may include:

Contact name
Organization name
Email address
Telephone number
Event name or description
Event location
Event dates and times
Other information necessary to evaluate or prepare the announcement

We use this information to review the request, communicate with the person or organization submitting it, prepare an announcement when appropriate, and maintain reasonable administrative records.

Submitting information does not guarantee that Light & Truth Radio will broadcast a Public Service Announcement.

Information intended for public broadcast, such as an organization's name, event information, date, time, or public contact information, may become publicly available through the resulting announcement.

5. Donations and Payments

When you make a donation through a Light & Truth Radio service, we may collect or maintain information associated with the donation, such as:

Donor name
Contact information
Donation amount
Date of donation
Donation designation
Transaction or payment reference information

Payment-card and other payment credentials are processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe.

Light & Truth Radio does not need to store your complete payment-card number, card security code, or similar payment credentials in order to maintain our donation records.

Payment processors may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

We may retain donation and transaction records as reasonably necessary for accounting, tax, auditing, reporting, legal, fraud-prevention, and administrative purposes.

6. Mobile Application

The Light & Truth Radio mobile application provides access to radio programming and other station content and features.

Depending on the mobile operating system and services used to operate the application, technical information may be processed automatically. This can include information such as:

Device type
Operating system
Application version
IP address
General application activity
Crash and diagnostic information
Notification identifiers or tokens when push notifications are enabled
General technical information necessary to deliver application content

We may use an application-platform provider, including GoodBarber, and other service providers to operate portions of the mobile application.

Location

Light & Truth Radio does not require precise device location to listen to our programming or use the ordinary features of our mobile application.

We do not use the mobile application to continuously track users or create movement profiles.

If we introduce a feature in the future that requires Light & Truth Radio to collect device location, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any permission request, disclosure, or consent required by applicable law and platform policy before using that feature.

7. Maps and Directions

Our services may display a map showing the physical location of Light & Truth Radio or other locations related to our organization.

The location shown on such a map is our location or another destination, not information about the user.

If you choose a feature such as Directions, your device may open or interact with a third-party mapping service. That mapping provider may request or process your current location in order to calculate directions.

Any location information processed independently by a mapping provider is subject to that provider's privacy practices.

Light & Truth Radio does not need to receive your precise location merely because you choose to request directions through an external mapping service.

8. Android Auto and Android Automotive OS

Light & Truth Radio Auto and our Android Automotive OS media application are designed primarily to allow listeners to hear Light & Truth Radio in compatible vehicles.

These services use an Internet connection to:

Connect to the Light & Truth Radio audio stream
Retrieve current program, song, or broadcast metadata
Display station artwork
Provide media playback controls
Maintain and recover live audio playback

Our Android Auto and Android Automotive radio functionality does not require access to your contacts, photographs, videos, personal files, text messages, microphone, camera, or precise location in order to provide radio playback.

The application may communicate with third-party streaming infrastructure, including RadioMast, to obtain the station audio stream and current programming metadata.

Technical information ordinarily transmitted as part of an Internet connection, such as an IP address and request information, may therefore be processed by the streaming infrastructure necessary to deliver the service.

9. Push Notifications

The Light & Truth Radio mobile application may offer push notifications.

If you enable notifications, our application platform and notification service providers may process a device notification identifier or token and information necessary to deliver the notification.

You can generally disable push notifications at any time through your device settings.

We may also receive basic information about notification delivery or interaction where such functionality is provided by our service providers.

10. Text Messages and SMS Privacy

If you voluntarily provide a mobile telephone number and consent to receive text messages from Light & Truth Radio, we may use your telephone number and related information for the purpose disclosed when consent is obtained.

Mobile information, SMS opt-in information, and consent will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own promotional or marketing purposes.

We may provide telephone numbers and necessary messaging information to communications service providers solely as necessary to deliver or manage messages on our behalf.

Opt-out instructions will be provided where required or appropriate.

Communications relating to an individual's request, transaction, alert, or other requested service may be handled differently from promotional communications as permitted by applicable law.

11. Information Collected Automatically

When you access a website, application, or Internet streaming service, certain technical information may be processed automatically by Light & Truth Radio or by service providers assisting us.

Depending on the service, this may include:

IP address
Browser type
Device type
Operating system
Application version
Date and time of access
Pages or features accessed
Stream connection information
General interaction information
Crash, error, and performance information
Security-related logs

We use this information where appropriate to provide services, maintain security, troubleshoot technical problems, understand general usage, prevent abuse, and improve reliability.

We do not use this information to create sensitive personal profiles about individual listeners.

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our websites may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

Operate website functionality
Maintain security
Remember settings or preferences
Measure website performance
Understand general website usage
Diagnose technical problems

Your browser may allow you to restrict or delete cookies. Some website functionality may not operate properly if certain cookies are disabled.

Third-party services incorporated into our website may use their own cookies or similar technologies according to their respective privacy practices.

13. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information only for reasonable purposes related to our services, including:

Operating Light & Truth Radio websites and applications
Providing radio streaming
Providing requested information
Responding to communications
Processing and recording donations
Reviewing Public Service Announcement submissions
Delivering notifications or communications requested by users
Maintaining administrative and accounting records
Maintaining, troubleshooting, and improving our systems
Protecting our systems, listeners, and organization from misuse or security threats
Preventing or investigating fraud
Complying with legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, or court requirements
Establishing, exercising, or defending legal rights

We do not use personal information for purposes materially incompatible with those disclosed unless we have an appropriate legal basis and provide any notice or consent required by law.

14. Legal Bases for Processing

Where privacy law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, such as under the European Union or United Kingdom data-protection regimes, the applicable basis will depend upon the circumstances.

We may process information because:

You have given consent
Processing is necessary to fulfill your request or provide a service you requested
Processing is necessary to perform or administer a transaction
We have a legitimate interest in operating, securing, administering, and improving Light & Truth Radio services
Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation
Processing is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
Another lawful basis permitted by applicable law applies

Where processing depends upon consent, you may withdraw that consent as permitted by applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

15. How We Disclose Information

Light & Truth Radio does not sell personal information.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to service providers that perform functions for us, such as:

Website and application hosting
Mobile application infrastructure
Radio streaming
Payment processing
Email or messaging delivery
Push notifications
Analytics and diagnostics
Security
Data storage
Technical support

Examples of service providers used in connection with our services may include GoodBarber, Stripe, RadioMast, and other hosting, communications, or technology providers.

Service providers may process information only as necessary to provide the relevant service, subject to their agreements with us and their own legal responsibilities.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

Comply with applicable law, court orders, subpoenas, or lawful governmental requests
Protect Light & Truth Radio's legal rights
Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity
Protect the safety of individuals
Complete an organizational restructuring, transfer, merger, or similar transaction where permitted by law

16. No Sale of Personal Information

Light & Truth Radio does not sell personal information in exchange for money.

We also do not intentionally disclose personal information for third parties to use for their own unrelated direct marketing or cross-context behavioral advertising.

If our practices materially change, this Privacy Policy and any legally required privacy choices will be updated before those practices are implemented.

17. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained and for legitimate administrative, legal, accounting, security, or regulatory needs.

Retention periods vary depending upon the type of information.

For example:

General inquiries may be retained for the period reasonably necessary to respond and maintain appropriate correspondence records.
PSA submissions may be retained while they are being reviewed, scheduled, broadcast, or maintained for reasonable administrative purposes.
Donation records may be retained for accounting, tax, audit, legal, and financial-recordkeeping requirements.
SMS consent, subscription, and opt-out records may be retained as necessary to demonstrate or honor communication preferences.
Technical logs may be retained for shorter periods appropriate for security, troubleshooting, or system administration.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, destroy, or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal requirements and technical backup practices.

18. Data Deletion Requests

You may contact Light & Truth Radio to request deletion of personal information that we maintain about you.

Requests can be sent to:

comments@wsof.org

Some information may need to be retained when necessary to comply with law, maintain financial or tax records, protect against fraud, establish or defend legal claims, honor communication opt-outs, or meet another permitted purpose.

Light & Truth Radio Auto does not currently require users to create a Light & Truth Radio account in order to listen to the station. Therefore, there may be no user account associated with that application to delete.

19. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

Measures may include appropriate access controls, secure communications, service-provider safeguards, system updates, and other security practices appropriate to the nature of the information.

No Internet transmission, electronic service, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

20. International Processing and Data Transfers

Light & Truth Radio is based in the United States.

If you access our services from another country, information associated with your use of the service may be transmitted to or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws in your country.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we and/or our service providers will rely on a lawful transfer mechanism appropriate to the circumstances, which may include contractual safeguards, adequacy mechanisms, consent where legally appropriate, or another transfer mechanism permitted by law.

We seek to limit international transfers to information reasonably necessary to provide and administer our services.

21. European Economic Area Privacy Rights

If the European Union General Data Protection Regulation or another applicable European data-protection law applies to the processing of your personal information, you may have rights including the right to:

29. Children's Privacy

Light & Truth Radio provides general-audience religious and radio programming and does not design its online services specifically for children under the age at which parental consent is required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has improperly submitted personal information to Light & Truth Radio, please contact us at comments@wsof.org so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

30. Links and Third-Party Services

We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of services that we do not control.
